2 23 rd BSHC Conference Agenda Item D August 2018 BSICCWG Report Aalborg, Denmark Finland 2. BSICCWG5- meeting Nov 2017, Gdansk Poland. The agenda of the BSICCWG5 meeting was once again divided into two parts; paper chart issues (first day) and ENC related items (second day). Paper charts+general (first day) Status of BSICCWG and its work - BSICCWG TOR s and ROPs were studied and discussed. The document is now updated according with the generic Terms of Reference and Rules of Procedure for International Charting Coordinating working groups (S-11, Part A). See Annex 1. - Membership; Susanne Carlsen (DK) and Dana Kuznetsova (EE) were confirmed as members of the group. Jukka Helminen (FI) was also added as a member. BSICCWG4 actions - Status of the list of actions was reviewed. Some of them are permanent tasks. List of actions will be found from BSHC webpage INT Chart Web Catalogue; Updating of S-11 Part B, Region E - Updating process and the use of INT Chart Web Toll were reviewed. Tool is working quite well from the coordinator's point of view. Feedback from the member states was mainly positive. Some additional help is needed, e.g when adding plans to main chart. - Remark was made, that when taking out PDF file from the WebChart Tool, e.g. Polish and Latvian letters (ā, ī, ē), are not visible anymore. To be fixed on development phase II. Development phase II of INT Chart Web tool has started (KHOA/IHO Sec.) Baltic Sea will be one the testing areas (Summer/Autumn 2018). Development phase II will contain: - ENC scheme management procedures (S-11) - Base map for Polar regions (Artic & Antarctic) - Additional layers for 500 world ports and AIS traffic information - Connection between IHO ENC catalogue and INToGIS systems - Improve the chart display functions - User feedbacks from HO, regional coordinator - link to INT Chart Web Catalogue Status of Updates in Region E BSHC22 action: - Web Cataloque and Tool are successfully used in EE, DE, LV, FI, SE. Updates from DK, RU have not recieved yet. Denmark has evaluated the Web Tool. Russia has got username and password from IHO. - INT Chart Producer and Printer Nations and INT Chart Coordinators/ICCWGs are now expected to maintain regional databases using INToGIS. Without that, catalogue will have old information of new editions etc. - It has agreed that updating the S-11 by Web Chart Catalogue Tool should be a continuous part of the chart publishing process in every member state. BSICCWG5 action: - All member states to adopt S-11 updating by INToGIS tool as a part of chart publishing process. Updating of database will be made on quarterly basis. - latest version of database is: S-11, Part B, Region E, Ed , December 2017 BSHC 22_BSICCWG Report Page: 2 of 7 03 August 2018

3 23 rd BSHC Conference Agenda Item D August 2018 BSICCWG Report Aalborg, Denmark Finland Baltic Sea INT Scheme- Status of New INT Charts/Numbers - The need for the numbers for new INT charts was reviewed. - Estonia: 3 new numbers, Finland 2-3, Germany: 17, Latvia: in near future none, Poland: 4, Denmark 3-5, Sweden 1 - See more detailed information in chapter 3 Baltic Sea sub-areas Defining Exact Limits for Sub-areas - The limits between sub-areas have been originally defined very roughly. There is a need to have more accurate (detailed) coordinates for the limits between sub-areas. BSICCWG tasked to define exact coordinates for limits. Comments from member states were studied and some members were tasked to provide comments. See more detailed information in chapter 4. Revised Management, Review and Monitoring of New INT Charts (IHO CL 64/2015) - The procedure has been standardized (IRCC9-11B). All new INT charts should be sent to the area coordinator for evaluation. This basic check list is part of the document S-11, Part A, Annex 2. This is now a permanent process/action. Transition to the harmonized vertical reference (BSCD 2000) - The item was in agenda by request of some member states. Every member state will go to the new chart datum in the next few years. Difference between old and new datum varies country by country. Transition will take many years. There was also discussion how to inform this change in products to mariners. Specially in ENCs it was seen challenging, ENC issues (second day) Changing compilation scales in ENC approach cells, members experiences - There was a brief discussion about harmonizing depth contours between different scale layers. Different usage bands are generalized differently and they will never match exactly, even according recommendations they should. - Estonia made a presentation of their ongoing project of changing compilation scales. - There was a discussion about the density of soundings. Every country has its own system on how to choose soundings. The sea bottom varies a much and harmonizing will be challenging. In future (and already today), we have to think more ENCs than paper charts, when selecting depth information. Status of ENC Coverage in Baltic Sea. Review of Baltic Sea ENC scheme - Baltic Sea ENC coverage was analysed by member states. - Denmark will produce 5 new coastal cells in Kattegat area to harmonize the data with Sweden. Denmark is also planning to release many new harbour cells within a couple of years. - Finland will extend coastal coverage in the future. Finland will also extend ENC coverage to lake areas. - Latvia will have in the future all coastline areas covered with approach cells in scale 1: Poland is planning to extend approach coverage to cover all the coast. - Estonia has released new approach cells in the lake areas. - Sweden has no plans changing the coverage. - Russian coverage was briefly reviewed. There is a small gap in the coverage in Kaliningrad area. Gaps and Overlaps Analysis from WENDWG7 - There was a discussion about gaps and overlaps on ENCs in Baltic Sea and about analyzing the list from WENDWG7. IC-ENC overlapping policy and report were also reviewed. BSICCWG was considering that overlaps are not a big issue in the Baltic Sea area. Baltic Sea ENC Harmonisation Recommendations - Status of the ENC harmonization recommendations was reviewed more detailed and updates were done. - Recommendation 10 (joint plans and time schedules for the adoption of new versions of ENCs, S-101)is becoming relevant in the near future. BSHC 22_BSICCWG Report Page: 3 of 7 03 August 2018

4 23 rd BSHC Conference Agenda Item D August 2018 BSICCWG Report Aalborg, Denmark Finland - There was a discussion about the purpose of this list of recommendations in general. It was emphasized that this is a historical check list, which is not worth to modify more detailed now. Creating new list in the future would probably be more useful (when S-100 products are coming etc.). See Annex INT Chart Scheme; new charts/-numbers. Poland: New INT-numbers for existing Polish charts INT1290 and INT1299. These 2 charts will be divided into 4 new charts. Existing INT- numbers INT1290 and INT1299 will be frozen for 5 years, when the new charts INT12901, INT12902, INT12991 and INT12991 will be published (2018). See more in Annex 2. Sweden: Existing national Swedish coastal chart SE92 (scale 1: ) will be taken as an INT chart. to better service New Routeing System in Skagerrak and Kattegat (implementation July 2020). This has been agreed between Denmark and Sweden (see Annex 2). New INT-number will be INT1220. BSHC 22_BSICCWG Report Page: 4 of 7 03 August 2018

5 23 rd BSHC Conference Agenda Item D August 2018 BSICCWG Report Aalborg, Denmark Finland Germany: Germany is planning to change INT chart scheme in Baltic Sea and North Sea area, in conjunction with cooperation with UKHO. Work has started in North Sea area. Germany will need 17 new INT- numbers and give up for 10 numbers. Following existing 10 INT-numbers will be frozen for 5 years (at least) after new charts will be published INT1342, INT1344, INT1345, INT1351, INT1352, INT1356, INT1359, INT1360, INT1361, INT1364. New INT numbers are planned to be mostly 5-digit numbers: INT1211, INT13420, INT13421, INT13430, INT13431, INT13440, INT13450, INT13510, INT13520, INT13560, INT13561, INT13562, INT13590, INT13591, INT13600, INT13601, INT See detailed in annex 3. BSH will give up to produce charts DE40 (INT 1201, 1: ) and DE64 (INT 1304, 1: ) when the new INT chart in scale 1: (INT1211) will cover the German waters. Production responsibility of INT1201 is planned/agreed to change to Sweden and production of INT 1304 to Denmark. 4. Coordinates for the Baltic Sea subareas Accurate coordinates between limits Definition of coordinates for the limits of the the Baltic Sea sub-areas have been done. Almost all member states have sent comments for the coordinates. Also the names for the coordinate points have been defined. See Annex 4. BSICCWG Chair has sent a status report to Baltico2018 -meeting. Discussion with the Meteorological organisations in Finland and Sweden has been continued. Feedback so far is, that Meteorological organisations will keep their existing weather report areas and limits. Change level 3 name Middle Baltic to Central Baltic All member states (who have responded) agrees to change level 3 name Middle Baltic to Central Baltic (name taken from level 2 and name will be after that in parallel with the Meteorological areas). See Annex 5. BSHC 22_BSICCWG Report Page: 5 of 7 03 August 2018

6 23 rd BSHC Conference Agenda Item D August 2018 BSICCWG Report Aalborg, Denmark Finland New name for level 2 should then be Main Baltic or Baltic Proper. There has seen benefits for both proposals. Name Baltic Proper seems to be used more widely. Level 2 is very seldom used in nautical charts (and not existing in the Meteorological areas). The proposal is to rename level 2 name Central Baltic to Baltic Proper. See Annex 5. Proposal to move a limit for the Middle Baltic - Latvia has made first proposal to change level 3 limit between Middle Baltic and South Eastern Baltic/Southern Baltic from N to N (limit is now between Latvia's main harbor Liepaja) - Meteorological limit is N - Navtex limit is N. - Latvia made a new proposal to change limit to Navtex limit N. - Chair has sent a question to Baltico Coordinator (Sweden) to clarify why the Navtex limit (56 50 N) differs from the meteorological one (56 30 N). - One solution could be to shift a limit only little bit and only in Latvian side e.g. to N. After that the limit is not dividing port of Liepaja. Issue is under consideration in WG. See annex ENC Coverage, gaps and overlaps analysis Gaps and overlaps discussed and analysed in BSICCWG, see report from BSICCWG5 meeting before in this report. Chair has reported to WENDWG8 after BSICCWG meeting. Many member States have kept ENC coverage unchanged for years and let neighbouring countries cut or extend their coverage to match the border. It is agreed in BSICCWG, that member states will inform Chart Coordinator of new cells and major changes in coverage. Russia has made 1 st draft of Saimaa Canal ENC- cooperation and harmonisation with Finland is going on. See in annex 7 Overlaps in Baltic sea (analysis made by UKHO for WENDWG8 Mar 2018). In IC-ENC risk analysis no overlaps as classified 'medium risk' is not found anymore (one in 2017). See also new IC-ENC risk analysis report from July 2018 in annex 7B. 6. Future work of BSICCWG The future work of BSICCWG will consist: To test INToGIS development phase II tools, and report back. Finalize all the issues concerning limits and coordinates for Baltic Sea subareas. To put updating of INT charts ( by INToGIS tools) as permanent and continuous process in every member state To review and monitor new INT Charts (IHO CL 64/2015) To develop and maintain INT chart scheme for the Baltic Sea To follow and coordinate all the planned new INT charts and the freezing numbers. To monitor ENC coverage in the Baltic Sea. To analyze gaps and overlaps and report to BSHC and WENDWG. To review ENC harmonization recommendations connected to S-100 products.

25 Status of Baltic Sea ENC harmonization recommendations 2018 Annex 8 Rec. Recommendation Denmark Estonia Finland Germany Latvia Lithuania Poland Russia Sweden # #1 1a) Overview navigational purpose should be in harmony with other navigational purposes within the producers portfolios. 1b) The Overview cell should be harmonised with adjacent cells in the North Sea. #2 The Harbour and Berthing navigational purposes should be in harmony with other navigational purposes within the producers portfolios #3 On the Baltic Sea, the following values for the compilation scales should be used: General - 180,000; Coastal - 90,000; Approach - 22,000. #4 If a Hydrographic Office (HO) wants to use a compilation scale other than those recommended above, it may do so if all the following conditions are met: i) the value used is in line with the intention of the IHO CL 47/2004 ii) use of it is agreed bilaterally with neighbouring HO(s) concerned, in order to avoid inconsistencies at the border, and iii) every effort is made to minimise possible inconsistencies due to deviations from the recommended compilation scale. #5 BSHC should adopt the guidelines as stated in the Annex J. #6 6a) The BSEHWG proposes that the BSHC establishes a Working Group to study possibilities for Harmonisation of the Conveying and Presentation of Depth Information for both ENCs and paper charts.

26 Status of Baltic Sea ENC harmonization recommendations 2018 Annex 8 Rec. Recommendation Denmark Estonia Finland Germany Latvia Lithuania Poland Russia Sweden # 6b) Meanwhile, if the IHO recommended contour intervals are not applicable, or if additional intervals are needed, implementation should be agreed bilaterally/multilaterally so that possible inconsistencies to the mariners could be avoided. #7 All BSHC countries should ensure that bilateral agreements arrangements are in place with their neighbouring countries concerning harmonisation of features continuing/extending over national borders. #8 All BSHC countries should check and carry out harmonisation before launching updates or new editions of ENCs. #9 All BSHC countries should check that there are no gaps between cells at national borders by establishing a buffer zone of up to 5 metres, if necessary. #10 The BSHC should agree on joint plans and time schedules for the adoption of new versions of ENC related standards (e.g. S-57 Ed or S-101). #11 The BSHC should agree on joint plans and a time schedule for the adoption of new object classes on their products. #12 12a) BSHC should encourage all countries to make further studies of the use of objects in the Baltic Sea ENCs and report to the following BSHC meeting. 12b) BSHC should decide on proper actions to ensure ENC consistency as far as possible. #13 If found necessary it is possible to deviate from the recommendations. When doing so, the relevant HO should make every effort to minimise the effect of any inconsistencies that may occur. This should be done through bilateral/multilateral agreements and through harmonisation of data in order to ensure that no serious disharmony is introduced to the ENCs.
